A snap election on the old voting system AND 60 members? With Welsh Government unable to pass its budget, is a snap election the answer? Could four more years on the old system of 60 members tempt Labour and the Conservatives to do a deal? #senedd26 #Cymru #Wales @lauramcallister30.bsky.social

With so little time between now and #Senedd26, there's very little of substance the UK Labour Party could do to change the context for Welsh Labour's campaign next Spring. So, learning from Harold Wilson, should he consider replacing a Welsh Secretary considered to be unpopular? #Wales #Cymru

The first of our episodes looking at the consequences of the #Caerphilly byelection result's effect on the Welsh Government's remaining term, legislative programme, and budget, as well as the internal considerations for UK Labour and the Conservatives: youtu.be/zX3VQRf5P2Y

Will things change if we have a Welsh Govt led by Plaid Cymru or Reform UK? In our latest pod we discuss what would change in the relationship between national and union governments following the 2026 election if Labour isn't leading the one in Wales. #Senedd26 #Wales #Cymru
